{Five Minute Friday}: Delight

He brought me out into a spacious place;
He rescued me because he delighted in me.

Psalm 18:19

* * * * *

Delight.

Seriously?

After a night like this one?

I’m still recovering after two weeks, and now Daniel’s got it bad. Sudafed held the symptoms at bay during the day, but NyQuil didn’t do a thing from 9:00 ’til midnight. Or 1:30 AM. Or 3:00. Or 3:15. Or 3:30.

Then the cats decided it must be morning, since we were “up,” and started their three ring circus routine.

At 4:15, I gave up, dragged myself to the shower, and started counting down ’til bedtime (which will be later than I’d like since I’m taking students on an overnight trip for the first time in a decade!)

Just because Psalm 18:19 is my life verse, doesn’t mean I feel delight-full right now.

Just because You’ve always come through before, doesn’t mean I feel delighted in right now.

Just because it’s always seemed darkest just before de-light doesn’t mean I feel it right now.

I may not feel,
but I know.
And so
I will live
this day
as a daughter
of Your
delight.
